DESCRIPTION
Runes: a Handbook
Runes, often considered magical symbols of mystery and power, are in fact an alphabetic form of writing.
Derived from one or more Mediterranean prototypes, they were used by Germanic peoples to write
different kinds of Germanic language, principally Anglo-Saxon and the various Scandinavian idioms, and
were carved into stone, wood, bone, metal, and other hard surfaces types of inscription range from
memorials to the dead, through Christian prayers and everyday messages to crude graffiti. First reliably
attested in the second century AD, runes were in due course supplanted by the roman alphabet, though
in Anglo-Saxon England they continued in use until the early eleventh century, inScandinavia until the
fifteenth (and later still in one or two outlying areas).This book provides an accessible, general account of
runes and runic writing from their inception to their final demise. It also covers modern uses of runes, and
deals with such topics as encoded texts, rune names, how runic inscriptions were made, runological
method, and the history of runic research. A final chapter explains where those keen to see runic
inscriptions can most easily find them.Professor MICHAEL P. BARNES is Emeritus Professor of
